Jane Austen Festival Summer Ball 

About the Summer Balls

Each year the Jane Austen Festival holds two delightful Summer Balls, one in May and one in June, outside of and separate to the main Jane Austen Festival in September. Tickets for the Balls generally include entrance, the dancing, entertainment, and a light supper.
There is normally a dance workshop earlier in the day for people to brush up on their Regency dancing moves, and possibly some other smaller events over the same day/weekend. 

In 2026 we will again be holding two Summer Balls to give as much opportunity to dance and attend a Regency Ball as possible. Further information about the 2026 events will be available soon, along with ticket on-sale dates.
(As a guide only: in 2025 tickets for our Summer Balls went on sale in February 2025)

Dates for the 2026 Summer Balls are:

*The Summer Balls are mandatory Regency costumed events
 and we request that all ladies and gentlemen dress in the style of the Regency or 18th Century period.

*Flat shoes must be worn. Heels are not permitted within the Ballroom. 

Venue: The Guildhall Bath, High Street, Bath, BA1 5AW
